Chapter 167
Haruto Saito Was Stunned.
One hundred million ryo?!
Was Mifune here... to extort him?
Haruto instinctively checked Mifune's data. Their relationship status still showed as "neutral," which meant that Mifune didn't have any subjective intention to harm him. In other words, he was telling the truth!
The Black Samurai Armor's side effects could actually cost Haruto his life!
Mifune was simply stating the facts. As for the demand of one hundred million ryo, it was clearly an attempt to recover his "losses"—after all, Haruto had scammed him out of three hundred million ryo before. Even after deducting this one hundred million, Mifune would still have to fork out two hundred million.
There was no deception here. If Mifune had been lying, his status couldn't possibly remain neutral!
"This... Lord Mifune, isn't this a bit too exaggerated? I mean, yes, I've been having nightmares lately, but they're just dreams. Even if they're a side effect of the armor, saying I'm 'not long for this world' seems... excessive, don't you think?" Haruto chose his words carefully, though deep down, he was already feeling uneasy.
"I understand that it's hard for you to believe me based on just my words," Mifune said seriously. "But I am not exaggerating. The full details about the Black Samurai Armor—its usage, effects, and dangers—are meticulously recorded in my family's secret texts."
"So... it's just a dream. How could a dream be fatal?" Haruto pressed on.
"Black Samurai Lord, what you really want to know is how the armor causes harm, so you can try to find an alternative solution, am I right?" Mifune countered, seeing through Haruto's thoughts immediately.
